Abstract Background Pitayas are currently attracting considerable interest as a fruit with many health benefits. However, the lack of natural light after November in Hainan, China, severely restricts the production of pitaya in winter. To further explore the molecular mechanisms regulating flowering in pitaya, we used de novo RNA sequencing-based transcriptomic analysis for four stages of pitaya subjected to light induction. Results We assembled 68113 unigenes in total, comprising 29782 unigenes with functional annotations in the NR database, 20716 annotations in SwissProt, 18088 annotations in KOG, and 11059 annotations in KEGG. Comparison between different samples revealed different numbers of significantly differentially expressed genes (DEGs). A number of DEGs involved in energy metabolism-related processes and plant hormones were detected. Moreover, we discovered many CONSTANS-LIKE, FLOWERING LOCUS T and other DEGs involved in direct regulation of flowering, along with CDF and TCP, which function as typical transcription factor genes in the flowering process. At the transcriptomic level, we confirmed 13 DEGs with different functions in the time-course response to light-induced flowering by quantitative reverse-transcription PCR analysis. Conclusions These DEGs may include some key genes that control the floral-induction network, increasing our understanding of the molecular mechanism of floral regulation in pitaya. These findings will also aid the development of biotechnologies aimed at creating a variant of pitaya that is less sensitive to light conditions and blooms throughout the year.

Pathway Activation

Wnt signalling has been implicated in the regulation of stem cell self-renewal and differentiation; however, the majority of in vitro studies are carried out using monolayer 2D culture techniques. Here, we used mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC) EGFP reporter lines responsive to Wnt pathway activation in a 3D spheroid culture system to mimic better the in vivo environment. Endogenous Wnt signalling was then investigated under basal conditions and when MSCs were induced to undergo osteogenic and adipogenic differentiation. Interestingly, endogenous Wnt signalling was only active during 3D differentiation whereas 2D cultures showed no EGFP expression throughout an extended differentiation time-course. Furthermore, exogenous Wnt signalling in 3D adipogenic conditions inhibited differentiation compared to unstimulated controls. In addition, suppressing Wnt signalling by Dkk-1 restored and facilitated adipogenic differentiation in MSC spheroids. Our findings indicate that endogenous Wnt signalling is active and can be tracked in 3D MSC cultures where it may act as a molecular switch in adipogenesis. The identification of the signalling pathways that regulate MSCs in a 3D in vivo-like environment will advance our understanding of the molecular mechanisms that control MSC fate.
